If HP really wants developers behind it, they should consider giving away these devices to the developers. Even a $500 phone is a cheap investment with high returns, when made on a developer who's going to invest time (and money), is going

Although one can't blame Google for it, what's really sad is the loss taken by people who had booked flights and hotels in anticipation. Google definitely needs to come up with a better system to address all the nuances. A tech conference n

The Microsoft keyboard and mouse I have, not only have the USB symbol embossed, they also sport a raised dot to help identify the correct side. Wish more manufacturers did that. On the other hand, PC manufacturers have defeated that purpose

Totally agree. Just pushing your kids to be #1 at something is like designing a system with a single point of failure. What if the kid is not able to achieve it? Obviously, with a large population striving to achieve the same thing, there w

That's quite perceptive of you. I hope more people look at Google that way. I especially hope Google management looks at it that way. I think this perspective always gets lost on people both inside and outside Google when they talk about Fa
